Is the main function of art education or entertainment?

Art is a special perceptual way for human beings to grasp and reflect the world and express their views on the world and themselves, which is characterized by emotion and imagination. It includes the process and result of creating artistic works, and artistic perception runs through it. Obviously, for different subjects, artistic perception can't be the same, so what we call artistic function must take into account the artist himself, the art consumer and the art audience.

For an artistic creator, art is uncivilized to him. He only expresses his self-awareness and gives vent to his feelings through the process of artistic creation. He needs entertainment in his leisure time, self-affirmation, self-satisfaction and the realization of self-worth. Therefore, he seeks art. As for the art audience, I think they are more interested in equal aesthetic communication with each other than accepting art for the purpose of enlightenment, which in itself deviates from the extremely pure function of art itself.

The main function of art is entertainment-this kind of entertainment is a high-level inner pleasure and aesthetics? Satisfaction is the initiative caused by the motivation of daily needs, but education does not contain this meaning. Therefore, only entertainment can explain millions of people's yearning for art.

The entertainment function of art is not only a psychological problem, but also a sociological problem. When people solved the problem of food and clothing, they began to deal with the problem of boredom, which is also the origin of ancient murals. Please note that people at that time had no consciousness at all. We can even say: Einstein studied the universe just to kill boredom. Therefore, self-entertainment is the essential demand of human beings and the most essential and main function of art, while education is only an additional function of art.
